Do you think it would be a good idea if Ironmaster had plates other than just the 2.5s, 5s and 22.5s? Seems like 10lbs plates would be great for 20lbs jumps and allow for less plates in general needing to be used.

@@Applefanatic1000 Maybe but then it just becomes more things to buy/store. Luckily they all stack on top of each other. I think it really comes down to how you use them. I used my Ironmasters more as an accessory after flat bench work, this meant I didn't have to do a bunch of warm up sets and change the weight out or whatever. However if you're planning on using them exclusively or for drop sets, maybe the awkward feeling of the powerblocks would be worth the much easier to adjust option they provide.

Some feedback on my experience: - Had them for almost 10 years now and no issues with durability. I have dropped them accidently but not to hard and they held up. - if you go to the 90 pound ones you can only change weights in increments of 10 pounds quickly as changing in increments of 2.5 or 5 pounds involves the adder weights and takes way longer. If you only need 50 pounds I do believe there is one that changes 5 pounds at a time. - I have the metal ones but looking back at it I think the urethane is worth the extra cost. They are a little bulkier but even more durable and quiet. - If you want to do 2 handed exercises and are doing 50 pounds or less with the 90 pound set just grab the bottom 2 handles. When you get to about 60 pounds there is probably not enough space to do this anymore. - minor downside is with low weight the handles feel odd given the added weights are on one side (10 and 20 pounds) and the dumbells center of mass shifts towards the added weights.. Again, if you use the bottom handles instead it feels better.

Hey Coop, powerblock pros have been what I've used 6 times a week since march. I have to say that you can fit dumbbell hooks into the cage for the powerblock pro elites, from there I've used multiple grip attachments (i've used a cannonball grip with 1' long strap to do heavy goblets), you can hook it up to a dip belt, and my favorite is I went to my local hardware store and bought nylon coated cable with a few pulleys and now I have an adjustable weight stack for lat pull downs and tricep extensions when hooking that up to my pull-up bar. I do wish I could have a solid bar connections on the elites but it hasn't been necessary so far.

I've had my PowerBlocks for three months and like them. In a perfect world, I think I'd have preferred Nuobells, but with the availability of adjustable dumbells the way it is (and is likely to be for some time), I'm just grateful I managed to snag a pair of new PowerBlock Pros last Fall. That said, I'm somewhat amused that the video is seven minutes of saying how great they are and then quickly saying that the downside is that they are awkward for both one and two-hand movements...which basically covers all the movements you use dumbells for :-D I am disappointed that they are essentially useless for goblet squats, but I've gotten used to the slight imbalance in other exercises. Again, just happy to have a pair of adjustable dumbells at this point.

I have Ironmasters and love them but I agree with Coop that they aren't ideal for drop sets as it does take longer to adjust. I believe the perfect setup (aside from a traditional dumbbell setup) is to have a set of Powerblocks and then a set of IronMaster for the heavier (90+) weights.

I'd recommend the EXP Series over the Urethane, at least based on a serious design flaw I've heard from friends who have owned and used these in a non-temperature controlled garage gym environment. Apparently those rails are not directly connected to the metal plates, at least on the old U90 sets, so the corners are solid urethane. With extreme cold/hot weather they eventually become brittle and prone to breaking. The Sport EXP's are cheaper, have the same quick pin design, and without a doubt will stand the test of time.

@@ryu-ken if I recall correctly, the urethane mentioned in the class action suit is the coating on the plates peeling off. I'd have to go back and read it to confirm. However, just as Mike mentioned, any urethane/plastic is subject to the same degradation due to environmentals. Urethane is used in plate/rod joints and even the handle end caps/blocks on several models. I have the black EXP and Sport models. And I owned what is now referred to as the "classic". If anything is going to fail eventually on these it'll be the welded joints on the plates. You should be fine. Just don't go dropping the dumbbells to the mat. Those welded joints aren't going to survive repeated drops over time.

He said he has to pay for the shipping, but the company does make good on the warranty.

How did you get your metal handle? Thanks for the review, tough choice for me between nuobell, vs power block. But durability is winning out. Would be pissed if my 800$ barbells broke in 2 years.

Just got the Pros that extend to 90lbs. Bought the rack for them as well as an adjustable incline bench and some rubber tile matting for the home gym. Already got a stationary bike and NordicTrack commercial treadmill. All I need now is a squat rack and/or cable machine and I’ll never have to waste time driving to the gym again

I bought the Powerblock Pros last year because of the urethane coating over the others. I saw a review when I was choosing that said the others were noisy. They definitely take some getting used to over normal dumbbells but I love them so far. The “balance” of the weight is different than normal dumbbells and I’d prefer the knurling you showed over the rubbery one. That said, they feel good in the hands and never worried about slipping or dropping because of the handles. Much cheaper at the time than trying to find a rack of dumbbells with the range of weight I wanted.

How is the coating hold up for you? I have the EXP versions which are painted metal and am wondering if it's worth upgrading at some point.

@Someguy I looked at the bottom of them today for you. I don't see any signs of wear on them. I've never dropped them. The most I do is sit them down hard sometimes but I still have a grip on them when I do.

When you're interested in the content, but the video starts with unnecessary goofing around, then a musical intro, then a little talk, and another music intro until the content finally begins about 75 seconds into the video... Jesus phucking Christ.

For the same reason I hate intros, jingles or logo displays at the beginnings of videos. Like give us the T, ffs! We all have lives to live, don't waste our time with seconds or even minutes of an unimportant useless BS, which adds up to fucking hours when surfing lots of different vids on an educational binge on YT... It's a good video, very informative, but just get to the point right away!!!

@@samuelloification2749 Personally what I found by buying gimmicky stuff is, its just another hurdle to use... So not only do you have to get the power to workout... you have to get the power to workout using gimmicky trash. i dont have space for dumbells i store them under my bench, or stack them. Although they are definitely expensive when you build a collection
